    WHAT GREASE TO USE IN CTM JOINTS?

    The Bostik anti seize is what came with my Yukon super joints. I had one gall pretty bad though, so I’d be interested in trying something else.

    How wide is too wide? Axles…

    Thanks for the replies. I should’ve mentioned, the front is currently 2-3” wider than the rear. So new rear will be a little wider than the front… I think I’m gonna roll with it.

    How wide is too wide? Axles…

    Axle width? How wide are you guys comfortable running? Here in the SE. Leaf spring cab truck, nothing fancy but it works ok for my purposes. I’ve got a rear D70HD I’m gathering parts for and it’s close to 5” wider than the 60 it’ll replace. 73” wms or so… Just checking myself before I go down...

    Will a Rear Detroit unlock during a Front Dig?

    Yes, there is a definite front weight bias (60/40?). And that's about as light as I can make it without major surgery. Looks like money saved here on a Detroit...

    Will a Rear Detroit unlock during a Front Dig?

    No cutting brakes. Normally I'd unlock the rear, usually hold the brakes, but not always, & drive through the brakes with the front. But I'm welded so it has to drag the outside tire. Still a tighter turn than no dig but I know (think) it'd be tighter with the rear tires able to turn...

    Will a Rear Detroit unlock during a Front Dig?

    Title pretty much says it. Will a Rear Detroit (or other auto locker) unlock during a front dig? with brakes applied? My last axles I had Detroits F&R but no dig capability. Now on 60's welded and have twin stick 205. I'm long @ 120" WB... I'm building a rear 70 and found a cheap ($300)...

    YJ needs a new Battery

    The last Optima yellow top i bought lasted less than 2 years. Got it warrantied and the replacement was going bad when I sold the car... Junk since Johnson Controls bought them... I've had older yellow tops last 7-8 years. Used Odysseys in motorcycles and the are great. Truck sized are wicked...

    Bucket list ORV parks

    Fordyce looks awesome. Never wheeled out west, so most of the spots mentioned are on my list. Just not with 30,000 JK's... Or 30,000 of anyone...

    Why do you stick with this hobby?

    Good topic/question. I grew up riding around in the back of pickups. My mother drove an old F100 from when I was born till I was probably 6 or so. My step father had a Scout II and a couple J-10s (one of which is my trail truck now). We were out on the beach in 4wd fishing all the time. I would...

    RC trucks

    I've got a LOSI 1/10th scale buggy. I added monster truck 2.2 wheels & tires & re geared appropriately. It's fast as hell on 4S... Also 2 Losi crawlers. Build quality seems better to me than buddies Traxxas, but parts availability seems much better with Traxxas... For what little that's worth...
